Zafar, MD, MHS at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania shows that despite reimbursement limitations, computed tomography colonography (CTC) or virtual colonoscopy may expand screening to more patients. The study “Predictors of CT Colonography Utilization Among Asymptomatic Medicare Beneficiaries” can be found online in the Journal of General Internal Medicine.
